"I am super inspired by Tarana Burke, an activist and the founder of the #MeToo movement. She's a leader in bringing awareness to sexual assault, and providing resources for survivors and advocates alike. She speaks thoughtfully, brings nuance to tough conversations, and challenges people to think differently. Give her a follow on twitter @taranaburke."

Her adoration for Mexico, it's people & heritage is one of the many reasons she's inspiring to a Mexican American like myself."

"Poet Nayyirah Waheed, known for her booksalt. has been a long time inspiration of mine in writing and in life. She composes short form poetry that speak of love, self-appreciation, race and feminism—areas in which I've struggled with, but have overcome with Nayyirah's soft powerhouse for words."

"Cleo Wade is a writer and activist who is always stands up and voices what she believes is right. I appreciate how Cleo eloquently writes about a variety of issues and always encourages her audience through love and kindness."
